From what I've noticed in reports of incidents between law officials and MI sufferers, there is a great ignorance perpetrated by said law enforcement. There are far, far too many heavy-handed incidents by who can only be seen as ignorant, brutal, untrained cowboys.

It's pretty sickening. In the legal system MI sufferers often don't get the civilities afforded to others. All the Police services talk talk talk after tragic consequences go down but the damn stories keep getting reported. The Thin Blue Line is well known for protecting their own as well...I'm sure there are innumerable atrocities that we don't even hear of. Is it getting better? I'm not sure.

Respect to the cops etc., but they need a LOT of work in some areas. The macho cowboy attitude is disrespectful across the board and that attitude seems to be going strong. Officers should be screened far better than they are. The indifferent and ignorant are constantly slipping in purely for the prestige and pay-cheque. That's wrong. It's like politicians trying to do a job without the required character and background. Dig it? It doesn't work well and the people who need help don't get the care and consideration they deserve [and have the right to.]

We here live in mostly civilized countries. It's horrendous elsewhere. These are things to think about too. Yeah it could stand to change all right. Without a voice and responsible protection some of us are not getting what we are entitled to and in some cases sadly dealt much less. Excuse me for this brief rant...the story is huge and complex I do realize. Just a few points on my mind after seeing another story on the news last night.
